Why do horses work in dangerous traffic in Times Square ?

Horses are allowed to work in Times Square in the evenings until 3:00 am. Take a look at these pictures and this video :

These horses do not belong on the streets of New York City. What possible attraction could there be to riding in a carriage on crowded, filthy, smelly streets with bright lights and excessive noise led by a dispirited horse whose vision and probably hearing are impaired?

Where is our humanity? How can we continue to allow this inhumane and unsafe business to exist in New York City? Luckily, many people want it to end – all polls since 2006 have shown that between 75 and 80 percent of respondents want this business to be shut down.

It's disgusting. Every time I see a horse drawn carriage I want to pull the driver down and stomp on his face. Horses do not belong on the city streets anymore. This isn't gangs of New York times...how about bringing back old timey cars instead...poor horses.
